Ashley Young should have been sent off! Palace chairman slams Manchester United diver

Manchester United's 2-0 win over Palace on Saturday was marred by accusations of diving from Ashley Young.

The United winger was booked in the first half after deliberately tripping over Kagisho Dikgacoi's leg in a bid to win a penalty.

The England international won a spot kick later in the game when he clashed with Dikgacoi, even though replays showed there was minimal contact between the two and the incident also occurred outside the box.

“Ashley Young has a yellow card and three points and we have no points”

"If preventing a goal-scoring opportunity is a straight red then trying to create one by cheating should be a straight red also," Parish told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"The only player in the incidents that was honest was Kagisho Dikgacoi and he's sent off and banned for the next match.

"Ashley Young's dive and the appeal before put pressure on the ref to give a subsequent penalty that was certainly outside the area and probably wasn't even a foul.

"Ashley Young has a yellow card and three points and we have no points and one less player to pick from for the next game.

"It might have cost us a point that might keep us up. We need to get some momentum behind a straight red for a dive."
